The syllabus for our MSc in Medical Physics will provide you with the knowledge, skills and experience required of a modern graduate medical physicist.

Our course places more emphasis than many other similar programmes on topics beyond ionising radiation (X-rays and radiotherapy), allowing you to study areas such as magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound and the use of lasers in medicine.

You’ll learn the theoretical foundations of modern imaging and treatments, and you’ll gain a set of experimental skills that are essential to a modern medical physicist’s job. You’ll gain these skills through experimental sessions in our Department of Physics, as well as through practical experiences using advanced clinical facilities at collaborating hospitals.

Graduates of this course have gone on to work for a wide range of employees, including the NHS, the Institute of Cancer Research London, Elekta Ltd, GE Healthcare, GlaxoSmithKline Ltd, the British Army, the Department of Civil Aviation, and many other UK and international universities, hospitals and government organisations.
